I have seen large family groups in the gardens previously - there doesn't seem to be a limit as such, and of course each person pays an entrance fee. There's a lot of space available so it's a case of picking your spot and setting everything up.

Does one need to book tickets for Kirstenbosch if one is a member of the Botanical Society? Or can one just use one's digital membership card to gain entry?
A:
I don't have a card but you can phone the gardens office. I am a visitor and make use of a Tuesday free entry for Pensioners.
